Joel and I have been talking about what we want to do about the house. NO one has even looked at it and I doubt anyone will. Maple Rapids is not exactly a place people actually want to move to (unless they grew up there) and there is a lot of updating that needs to be done. I plan on posting some picture soon so you can all see what I mean.
So we have discussed it and have decided to contact some contractors and see how much it would cost to get everything done that we want or even if it can be done to a 1970's manufactured home.
The First list includes:
All new bathroom
New Kitchen Cabinets and counter tops
Moving the back door to a new location so that we can have a bigger kitchen
New flooring through out the house (green and yellow shag is just not doing it for me)
Seeing about getting the wood paneling covered or taken down and dry wall put up. Fixing the ceilings
Fix Front Porch
The larger Ideas that might have to wait a bit are:
New windows
New siding
New roof
A Deck on back
Pave a driveway
New Garage
If it is in our budget I would also like to hire someone to paint. I hate painting and I am not good at it at all. But hat is something that I know I can do not my own and will save me some money to do on my own. I will just have to have some help.
So I am alitte worried because I do not know how to go about getting the money and this is really sadly enough the first "Big" money thing I have ever done. I guess the first step will be to get some quotes. And then go to the bank and see what we can do.
So if anyone knows of any good contractors that are decently priced please let me know. And if I am doing the process Wong let me know should I see what money I can get first? And Pray that we can get it done soon because I am going crazy in that place.
